Sundance Minerals Ltd.: San Ricardo Gold-Siver Property, Sonora, Mexico-Land Agreement With Mercator Minerals

Sundance Minerals Ltd. ("Sundance" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that
it has entered into an option agreement ("Agreement") with Exploraciones Global
S.A. de C.V. ("Global"), a subsidiary of Mercator Minerals Ltd. ("Mercator"),
whereby Sundance can earn up to a 70% interest in a 700 hectare portion of their
Meztli 4 claim ("Property") located in northern Sonora State, Mexico. The land
optioned will link Sundance's San Ricardo claim block with a larger group of
Sundance's claims that surround Meztli 4 and San Ricardo claims on the north and
west. Sundance's total land position including the portion of Meztli 4 under
Agreement is now 38,100 hectares.


The San Ricardo property, located 43 km southwest of Yamana's Mercedes mine, 57
km southeast of Timmins Gold's San Francisco mine and 10 km north of Mercator's
Creston molybdenum deposit, hosts gold mineralization in granite and is, in
turn, currently optioned to Paget Minerals Corporation by the Company (see news
release dated September 11, 2012).


Under the Agreement, Sundance can earn 51% of the Property by making an initial
payment of US$25,000 and a work expenditures of US$250,000 over a three year
period. Sundance may earn an additional 19%, for a total of 70% by making a cash
payment of US$150,000 and funding US$2,000,000 aggregate in work over an
additional two year period.


Once Sundance has earned a 70% interest in the Property, the parties shall elect
to participate in the exploration program on a prorated basis or not. In the
event either party dilutes below 9%, it shall be entitled to a 2% Net Smelter
Return royalty ("NSR"). Sundance will have the right to purchase 1% of the NSR
for US$1.5 million.


Sundance believes that the additional land from Global will increase our
flexibility in fully exploring the gold mineralization found at San Ricardo. The
costs of acquisition and work on the Property will be paid by Paget Minerals,
Sundance's joint venture partner in the San Ricardo property.
